Legendary traders unlock at level 11

Both Doug in Castor Woods and the Exile's Cave trader only add the legendary pool once you're level 11. If a rotation never shows gold gear, sleep, level, then repeat the refresh loop.

Respawns & blueprints

World pickups like Ciupaga and the ammo crates beside them respawn after you leave the area for a while (roughly 150m or more). Most Treasure Hunts include a blueprint, so even broken weapons can be rebuilt.

Video timestamps for backup

Each route below cites the WoW Quests 'All 38 Legendary Weapon Locations' guide. Jump to the listed timestamp if you need a visual check before diving in.

Mastering Dying Light The Beast Legendary Weapons

Dying Light The Beast legendary weapons layer puzzle solving on top of pure loot hunting. Treasure Hunts unlock blueprints, Stone Sigils demand methodical exploration, and random traders fill the gaps. Tracking all three pillars keeps your loadout maxed whether you prefer rifles, launchers, or melee.

Because trader rotations and respawn timers are level-sensitive, keep an eye on your XP bar. Hit level 11 before grinding Doug or the Exile's Cave, and loop the Beaver quest path to restock legendaries without relying on RNG. Pair these runs with Craftmaster upgrades so every pickup scales with you.

Bookmark the WoW Quests timestamp list in case you forget a location mid-session. Each section in this guide links to the exact moment in the video where the route is shown, so you can double-check before entering a volatile nest or burning nighttime stamina on a dead end.

Legendary Weapon FAQ

Do legendary weapons scale with my level?

Yes. Legendary drops scale to your current level and can be upgraded at Craftmasters. If the damage numbers look off after an upgrade, swap weapons or reload the save - it's a known UI refresh quirk.

How do I refresh trader legendaries quickly?

Talk to Doug or the Exile's Cave trader, run outside the safe zone (Doug's gate or the Highway Tower path), then return. Each loop rerolls the inventory. If nothing changes after several tries, sleep until morning and continue.

Do legendary pickups respawn?

Many do. Ciupaga, ammo caches beside world pickups, and shrine-based rewards like the Last Hand of Glova respawn after you leave the area for a while (roughly 150 meters or a full sleep cycle).

Will my legendary collection carry into NG+?

Yes. Techland designed NG+ to keep your gear and skills. Check patch notes for tweaks, but current builds retain the entire arsenal when you roll into New Game Plus.
